Hi Society: Kids Beating Cancer Fundraiser

Cruising for a Cure
The Villages community showed up with heart and purpose for the first-ever Kids Beating Cancer fundraiser at The Savannah Center. The sold-out, cruise-themed luncheon, fashion show and live auction brought together more than 430 guests to raise money for children fighting cancer. Guests browsed vendor booths, cheered on local models, including The Silver Rockets, and were moved by a young survivor’s story. Led by Leslie Skillman, the Villages chapter is already making a difference, continuing the mission started by founder Margaret Guedes—in memory of her son—to keep care local and give kids the best shot at beating cancer.
